Any reason other than that you are confused or that you want to change the subject that you are talking about the E4B when the subject under discussion is the C-130?
I'm wondering why you use a transcript from a discredited document.
"Here this transcript is accurate and factual, oh and we know nothing about the E4B over DC skies on 9/11" as reported CNN.
So now that the transcript has been discredited, your left with?
Uh Swing,
CNN discredits nothing at all from a second hand quote.
If you had bothered to look at the full transcript for which a link is posted you'll see Sword 31. Sword 31 was the E4B, so your declarations of a discredited transcript are NULL AND VOID.

As Pinch explained earlier, the departure procedure is determined by which direction they are heading.
Could you please ask a real pilot if he would expect to be assigned a DP crossing a morning arrival bank into another major hub? (let alone during an unprecedented ground stop causing much heavier arrival traffic). Or do you think a straight out departure for vectors would be more likely, considering it doesnt cross arrival corridors.
[...]
speak to a real pilot who actually flys these procedures in close proximity to heavy arrival and departure corridors. I have, and i also fly them (out of DCA as well as being based LGA). I know many of you wannabe's think that altitude separation is sufficient to be assigned a crossing DP during a morning arrival bank, but perhaps you're not aware that sometimes planes on arrival go on a missed approach. Even in VFR, i done it twice at my last airline. You know, like if they have a problem with the gear or something? A C-130 crossing your approach can really gum up the works on such an occasion. Then again, wannabe's like you probably never did an approach brief of bottom line's and backup's."

Nice job. A second hand quote? Apparently it was from an Air Force Official as the information is found in the document you are using!
You chose the media report when in fact the cover letter itself states the Air Force states they have no knowledge of the "white jet"!
I will type verbatim the lie: Air Force Officials have no knowledge of the aircraft in question.: Source-Karen L. Cook. Lt. Col. USAF
The aircraft in question of course was the unidentified aircraft flying in restricted airspace over D.C. which has now been identified via the CNN report and others as an E4B

The E4B is listed in the summary transcript, so nothing is hidden or mysterious about it at all. Your quest to prove what you want the document to say has FAILED.

You obviously need a lesson in reading comprehension.
The FOIA request was for the aircraft in RESTRICTED AIRSPACE above Washington, DC. You INTREPRET this as the "white jet" and/or as the E4B. How in the world do you know these are the same? Was the E4B in Restricted Airspace? I dare say it wasn't and you have no proof that it was in restricted airspace.
I dare say that if the request was for information on the E4B, the answer may have been different. In fact, the AF Lt Col answered the question which tells me that the E4B was, in fact, not in restricted airspace. She obviously had no idea if another aircraft was in restricted airspace or not and answered the question accordingly.
The E4B is listed in the summary transcript, so nothing is hidden or mysterious about it at all. Your quest to prove what you want the document to say has FAILED.

I am still waiting for an explanation of what the E-4B was doing flying around during the attacks?

Then please gives us a good reason why the E-4B was flying around that day during the attacks.

NO, just busy doing research to find the truth.
Its jsut too bad the exercise the E-4B was on was cancelled and the planes called back.
So that still does not answer the question, what was it dong flying around during the attack?
Is that a good enough reason for it to be airborne. The plane took off from an unspecified airfield outside washington d.c. hence the reason it was flying around DC.
Verton says the aircraft is then “immediately ordered to cease the military exercise it was conducting and prepare to become the actual national airborne operations center.”

No not really, not when there was no reason for them to be up for a local exercise.

This is obviously way beyond you comprehension.
You get it now. It was being used as part of a NATIONAL EXERCISE. It just took off from a airport outside D.C. that is why it was in the area. Are you sure you are not mentally deficient?
